    I have a Kawasaki Mule but we don't have a hydraulic lift on the back but that thing will go anywhere I like the Kubota engines on some of these other kind but I like the way you got that one that is really truly caught my attention cuz you had to do a wheels in the back like that that makes for a easy day getting something done get into places little different with that type of vehicle

    Excellent! If your friend wasn't successful at diagnosing the engine I was going to suggest a Harbor Freight 420cc electric start engine. He is a good friend to have, and that Honda will probably run forever.

    That’s a great little piece of equipment for the farm. Do a little sanding on the bottom and seal it with rust preventer and spray on bed liner and it’ll last forever.

    My Gator AMT600 has a gearshift issue. Unable to shift in gear. All else works. It starts and runs in forward & backward gear. It starts in neutral but does not shift in gear, unless that I force it at very low revs, with the chance of stalling. But that is not healthy. Any idea would be appreciated?

    John Deere green is 11 bucks a quart at tractor supply... Wire wheel that bed and get it some protection. Surface patina leads to rust and rust leads to scrap piles.

    Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me the Honda engine model number. I have an ATM600 and the engine needs replaced and I was wondering what engine you put in there. Thanks.

      Hi i'm the other guy in the video.I just watched this looking for some other stuff online. I installed that engine about 20 years ago, the original kawasaki was obsolete even back then. It was a used Honda 8hp, I don't remember the model number but it was just a standard straight shaft Honda. I used the Honda fuel tank so you just take off the seat to fill it up, modified the intake and exhaust, loosened the throttle tension nut and added a return spring so it returns to idle. the stock drive clutch fit right with no modification, and the plastic engine cover still fit. I know this is an old post but hopefully this is helpful. God bless!

    Think how much that will save your back. Who cares what it looks like. Saving your energy will give you more strength to do stuff around the farm and with the family. I'm tired of life in the city. I am selling my rental properties so I can buy at least 20 acres with woods so I can have a home, woodburner to heat and a well. City water bills are outrageous. You got a good john deere there. I bought a john deere mower for $300. The guy bought a new one and didn't want to store it. I looked it up and used it goes for $900. Craigslist is bargains galore.

    I may be recalling incorrectly, but I belive there was a set of rubber tracks that could be looped over the rear drive wheels for greater mobility. I remember thinking it was a modern take on the German Kettlerad.

    I hate rust. Get a wire brush and get as much as you can off. Then spray it with rust converter.

  • @manbearpig5907
    @manbearpig5907 5 лет назад

    Everybody is saying to paint it.
    I disagree if it's all shiny and new looking you'll be afraid to scratch it.

    It's perfect as it is,,,,
